Frankenhooker (1990)Now what could be more romantic, than having your former girlfriend, being re-animated back to life, by the help of some super-crack along with a large amount of bodyparts, or leftovers, from exploding hookers. The Toxic Avenger (1984) Is another heartwarming and romantic tale. Where a former skinny geek named Melvin, is bullied by his fellow people, and during an desperate attempt on getting away, ends up diving head first, into a barrell of toxic waste. Which transform him into becoming the first super hero of New Jersey, as the Toxic Avenger. He soon uses his newfound super powers, to gruesome effect, as he tears the limbs of his enemies and cleans Tromaville rid of the former corrupt and greedy scumbags that used to thrive on the little people. Anyway, Toxie is also not just a fighter, but a lover. And while being a disfigured monster creature, he still has a heart of gold, which soon melts the one belonging to a blind babe, named Sarah, and the two soon live happily at the local waste dump, and it really is a very romantic film, makes me almost cry every time the power ballad of Is This Love by Race gets played along the montage of the two lovers. They sure don't make 'em like they used to. Braindead aka Dead Alive (1992)Since it is also mother's day, I guess this one should be ideal, as it is both one containing a mother's love for her son and vice versa, and also some romantic stuff in there as well.

I love this film
Gothic romance--in fact, I stopped watching this in October and now watch in February.
This is a weird one.

Let the Right One In Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street Reanimator I haven't watched Reanimator for donkeys years. I've got it on VHS somewhere. I'll have to dig it out.

Neither the Sea Nor the Sand 1972 I've never seen this one mentioned by anyone else. Neither the Sea Nor the Sand (1972), directed by Fred Burnley. Aka The Exorcism of Hugh. What a eerie and unsettling little film. A romance/horror. I had never heard of it until I found it while browsing Susan Hampshire titles at Netflix. Visiting the Isle of Jersey, a woman meets and falls in love with a brooding man who speaks elliptically about spirits and ghosts. It is a grand passion. He dies suddenly but their love reanimates his body and he returns to her. He continues to brood and does not speak, although she can hear his voice in her head. She's not imagining him; other people see him, too. The film puts off the horror element as long as possible and it continues as a romance, although with that clinging and pathological type of love that becomes insanity. He tells her they don't have much time (for obvious reasons -- he's a corpse) and she must come with him. She resists and we go through a scary and distressing section when she tries to break the bond and he commits a murder. In the end love (or is it obsession?) is stronger than death. I don't know who to recommend this to; collectors of the obscure and obliquely disturbing perhaps. I won't soon forget it. Love and death are always with us; what sort of story do we live in -- more romance or horror? It is leisurely paced and matter-of-fact about the weirdness. The horror element is not very explicit or physical. Certain musical bits are wretchedly unsuitable. Susan Hampshire has a brief body double in a passion sequence. Offscreen she is known for her efforts in dyslexia work and has often talked about her difficulty in reading and learning her parts.

Psychos In Love(1987) I won't post the trailer as both of them have close to a dozen bOOb shots each and I don't want to run afowl of TOS.
Spellbinder (1988)
Warm Bodies (2013)

HM’s:The Night Digger 1971 I watched that a couple times on my DVR but deleted it to make more room when I saw there is a DVD-R from Warner Archive. The ending really sticks with you doesn't it and not just because of the beautiful cinematogrophy/location scenery. You don't know exactly the specifics of what he has done, I mean I wondered if there was more to the bit with the dog, but you know he is back to his old ways and maybe even sicker.

I love this film [Spring] I still haven't got around to watching that one. Its still on my shortlist though. Did you know the filmmakers (Benson and Moorhead) have a new film out ? It looks like they have finally hit the big time as far as getting a superstar cast and some promotion. Synchronic (2020)
I love this film by them. No spoilers but I don't know that I would have made the choice they did at the end, I waffle on it. They star in this one themselves btw. These guys get Lovcraftian horror. The Endless (2017)

I'm interested in Synchronic. Have you seen it yet? Yeah, I dig The Endless.

Patricia Neal’s affective performance really sells the final moments.

Offscreen she is known for her efforts in dyslexia work and has often talked about her difficulty in reading and learning her parts. The film was definitely a nice little surprise. Very unique. Not perfect (I agree that music score at times was awkward). Slow, brooding with a poetic sort of the vibe. The image of her dripping wet lover lingers on your mind. While the picturesque coastal backdrop perfectly complimented the mood. All held together by Susan Hampshire. I never heard of it before, but it was recommended on the old IMDb horror board. There was a group of us, where he had to recommend 5 obscure horror titles each, and we had a year (2014) to get the list watched. I think it was around 80 titles. If not for joining, I doubt i would’ve seek this one out.

I feel like Spellbinder is underrated. I think it's well written. Definitely underated. I was in 8th grade the first time I saw it and the ending floored me. I think it may have been my first experience with such a twist besides The Planet of the Apes.
